GUSTAV GO AWAY! WE WANT TO PLAY







TROPICAL UPDATE AT 50 PAST THE HOUR!!!

So, now you know what I have been up to lately. But I have a good reason....I am on vacation in Key West. We arrived yesterday. The normally beautiful ride with the aquamarine water on either side of the narrow strip of Rt. 1 was rather grey and cloudy for our ride here yesterday. But we kept going and hoping for a stream of sunlight. We arrived safely and made our way to the Hogs Breath Saloon in the rain last night, had a quick drink or two and walked back to the resort.

Terri and Jim are our gracious hosts ,because they have a time share with points to spare. We are staying at the Galleon resort. It is very nice with a great view of the marina and the Coast Guard Station. We had some squally weather last night with threats of waterspouts and tornadoes. The wind was howling outside for most of the night and the rain was pelting our window next to the bed. I just pulled the covers over my head and went back to sleep. I really am a good sleeper, I probably would have made a great grizzly bear! Hibernator extraordinaire!

So we woke up to sunshine and wind this morning. took the bikes out for a ride around. We went down Whitehead St. to the southernmost point. We stopped at the Hemmingway House for a quick tour on the way. Oh, the most exciting part of the day was that Jimmy won $50 at pool bingo this afternoon. You go Jimmy!!!
